Wait so when an engineer upgrades a command post, or somebody constructs an MG somewhere or whatever else that will help your team, I know you get a notification letting you know what's going down (the gameplay video from The Aquarium proves this) but will you also be notified when enemies upgrade? Like if an enemy engineer buffs a health command post for 2 extra pips instead of one does the game tell you, so you know what you're up against?

Edit: I doubt anybody know nobody knows for sure but some ideas would be nice.

i dont think its gonna tell you, that would take away from them doing it to slow you down. it would svck if you build a nest and the game says "theres a MG nest over there" now you wont go over there and it wouldnt help them

Good thought but i think it will notify you of something like that because it will be something on a classes action wheel like "destroy the enemy MG nest!".

I highly doubt you'll hear what the enemies are doing, would make it a lot easier than having someone sneak past enemy lines to find out what their CP's are.

Also awesome sig OP.

No, things like barricades blocking a shorcut is something that would be a secondary objective, not mg nests.

Hmm..yeah I was thinking it wouldn't work well but also it would also be nice to know if that light you've got in your crosshair is gonna take a few more bullets than usual.

Hmm... I can see getting notified of enemy upgrades if a team mate spots an engineer upgrading the command post. Maybe. Sounds a little far fetched, though. In any case, it's probably a sense you'll develop as a player whether or not people have upgrades, and you can notify your own team.

There's been videos where a voice says, "The enemy is capturing our command post" or something like that.

That's if your teams CP is being taken, which your team owns, were talking about if the enemy takes a neutral CP and upgrades it.

I'd say for captures, but not upgrades.

Operatives will have "capture enemy CP" instead of "capture neutral CP," so it wouldn't be keeping a secret.

Fixed that for you.

Operatives can Firewall CPs to slow others down, but we've seen the "capture CP" objective on objective wheels for Medics as well - it's not going to be a class-specific ability.

Yeah, I thought all classes can see that "Capture the CP" mission, too?
I hope so. I want to be able to know when to smack some enemy dude in the face for doing that, lol. *shoot and gun-butt enemy to the face* BAD BOY! NO CP FOR YOU! -_-

OT: I don't think we would be notified of enemy upgrades. At least, I wouldn't think there would be....?

From what ive seen you are notified when any CP is being taken, neutral or friendly but havent see anything about when an enemy upgrades it.
As far as being able to tell how much hp the enemies have it will come down to taking the first shot and seeing how much of their red bar drops. Be kind of hard to tell an enemies HP without shooting due to the possibility of them having the universal +health ability / medic buffs even if you knew when they upgraded their CPs.

I think it'd be something like Enemy Territory: Quake Wars - any enemy obstacle is completely unknown to the team until someone sees it and reports it to the team.

At which point, it's availible as a secondary objective to the whole team.
